Benefit: Young adults who face opportunity gaps and receive mentorship are 55% more likely to be enrolled in college and 130% more likely to hold leadership positions than those who do not.-Mentorship Matters

This unequal access to support networks for career advice and professional development perpetuates social and economic inequalities.
